RE: Oversea property
Hi
There is no rental income, as you parent's are paying your mortgage.
If you sell the property, you may be subject to the equivalent of capital gains tax in Hong Kong.
You would then convert the acquisition costs and the disposal value and costs to pounds sterling, to work out if there is a capital gain in the UK, if yes, the gain would be declared in a self assessment tax return. -
RE: Do I need to register for Self Assessment and send a tax return?

However, if the Self Assessment criteria tool indicates that you should complete a Self Assessment tax return, we would suggest that you do so. -
